More details
See a full walkthrough and pair-specific notes for PrestaShop Upgrade.
Will my PrestaShop store be offline during the upgrade?
No, your source store remains fully functional during the migration. Cart2Cart only reads data from your old store, so your customers can continue shopping without interruption.
Can I migrate customer passwords between PrestaShop versions?
Yes, by selecting the "Password Migration" additional option, your customers will be able to log in to the upgraded store using their existing email and password.
How long does the PrestaShop to PrestaShop migration take?
The time required depends on the number of entities (products, orders, customers) you are moving. Most migrations are completed within a few hours, and you can monitor real-time progress in the wizard.
Is it possible to preserve my SEO rankings after the upgrade?
Yes. We recommend selecting the "Create 301 redirects" and "Migrate SEO URLs" options. This ensures that old links don't break and that search engines recognize your new store structure.
What happens if I encounter an error during the process?
Cart2Cart provides 24/7 technical support. If any issues arise during the data transfer, our team of engineers is available to assist you and ensure a successful migration.
Can I test the migration before committing to a full transfer?
Absolutely. You can run a Free Demo Migration, which transfers a small subset of your data to the new store, allowing you to check the results and ensure everything is configured correctly.

This app performs greatly
This app performs greatly. The service is very reliable and the support is superb. The service is quite costly for me but in the end, it's worth its money. There is also an automated shopping cart migration and I'm very happy about that! I'm really satisfied.
